1.2 3000 Version 3 Modes
The 3000 Version 3 is programmable to operate in modes that vary from the standard setup. One mode, Cooks, allows
products to be cooked with multiple setpoints, a feature primarily used for bone-in chicken. Another mode, Filters, allows
programmable filtering prompts (assigning a number of cook cycles before a filter prompt occurs). Prompts to guide filter
steps also appear on the controller. The two modes can be used together or separately. When these modes are turned off, as
they are in the standard setup, the programming steps associated with them do not appear on the controller.
When these modes are turned on, or enabled, in the Tech Mode of the computer, their programming steps appear on the
controller.
Steps associated with programming these optional features are in gray type in this manual. If you are using the 3000
Version 3 with the Cooks and Filters features disabled, you will not see the items shown in gray type in the programming
steps. If you have Cooks and Filters enabled, the items shown in gray in this manual will appear in the programming steps
you encounter on the controller.
Follow these steps to enable or disable the Filters and Cooks options. The default setting of the controller is disabled.
